About green almond
Green almond as a top note in perfumery exudes a fresh, somewhat sweet and distinctly green nuance, reminiscent of the raw, unripe nut. This note captures the essence of almond in its most natural and unadulterated form, offering a crisp, clean aroma that can add a unique, slightly nutty and vegetal quality to fragrances. Its origins are deeply rooted in the natural scent of young almond fruits before they mature and dry. Perfumers value green almond for its ability to impart a fresh, yet subtly sweet and leafy aspect to compositions, often utilized in spring and summer creations for its light and uplifting properties.

Perfumer's Tips
Green almond is typically used as a top note to introduce freshness and a subtle, natural sweetness to fragrances. It works best when applied sparingly to avoid overpowering the composition's delicate balance. Ideal for creating airy, fresh, and light olfactive experiences.
